Almost Instant Chicken Soup - Lunch for One - Waste Not Want Not

I can never throw away any chicken bones or scraps. It makes the best stock and such a good base for so many things
So in the fridge, was a lovely jelly like jar of stock, complete with some chicken fat, good for that extra flavour
My mission... to turn this lovely stock into a almost instant lunch for one,
For that extra seasoning, I added some Vegeta Powdered Stock
Such a good product
So
Slosh of olive oil
Take 1 onion peeled and sliced
1 red pepper, de-seeded and rough chopped
1 stick celery finely sliced
1/2 small carrot grated
1 tablespoon chopped red chili
1 teaspoon grated ginger
2 teaspoons Vegeta 
2 cups chicken Stock
2 teaspoons coconut sugar
juice of 1/2 small lemon or lime

Into a saucepan add olive oil over med heat
Add onions saute till softened a little 3-4 months
Add pepper, celery, carrot, chili and grate the ginger into the mix
when the vege soften add the Vegeta Stock powder

Stir
Add Chicken Stock...Bring to boil 
Simmer
Not for long though
5-7 minutes will be enough
Add the coconut sugar and the lemon or lime juice, just to balance the flavour

Lunch is served
Delicious and healthy whats more
If you have some coriander, (I didn't)...a few sprigs would be a welcome addition
